Faith only blinds people to the simple facts that free gifts can and sometimes do come with conditions and meeting the condition does not in anyway earn the free gift.

I gave the example of Naaman. God did not own Naaman anything so it was by grace God would offer to Naaman the free gift of healing ON THE CONDITION Namman first go and dip 7 times in the river. Obey FIRST and THEN receive the free gift. NOTHING earned here by Naaman.

Would you like more examples?

You cannot “PFFFHAHAHAHAHAHA” away facts and reality.

No, but I can laugh off oxymoronic statements.

Also, the example of Naaman is no example at all since we’re talking about physical healing, not salvation, so that’s a non sequitur as well.

The FACT is that God’s grace is a free gift that does not require obedience beforehand and we are backed up by Scripture, and that obedience is what comes after. YOU are the one claiming that Scripture actually means the exact opposite of what it says.

That’s really pathetic, honestly.
